Biparental inheritance through uniparental transmission: the doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA
E Zouros - Evolutionary Biology, 2013 - Springer
Many bivalvian mollusks have a sperm-transmitted mitochondrial genome (M), along with
the standard egg-transmitted one (F). The phenomenon, known as doubly uniparental …

Trans-Atlantic Distribution and Introgression as Inferred from Single Nucleotide Polymorphism: Mussels Mytilus and Environmental Factors
Large-scale climate changes influence the geographic distribution of biodiversity. Many taxa
have been reported to extend or reduce their geographic range, move poleward or displace …

A first report on coexistence and hybridization of Mytilus trossulus and M. edulis mussels in Greenland
Semi-sessile Mytilus mussels are used as indicators of climate changes, but their
geographic distribution is not sufficiently known in the Arctic. The aim of this study was to …

Strict Sex-Specific mtDNA Segregation in the Germ line of the DUI Species Venerupis philippinarum (Bivalvia: Veneridae)
Abstract Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI) is one of the most striking exceptions to the
common rule of standard maternal inheritance of metazoan mitochondria. In DUI, two …
